    Scenarios

    When do you believe it’s appropriate to pardon a prisoner? Give an example.
    #1 Its round start and a Spec Has broken a window to get something like a power cell or a crowbar I would give them a pardon as they are a Key player of the game and for a small crime that can be fixed in 3 or so clicks I think it is fine

    #2 now If it was mid round or start round and a Marine has be charged with manslaughter or murder or Assault or Cruelty to Animals wouldn't pardon them as this is a HEAVY crime and should be punished as they are Major crime under marine law

    #3 we are low on doctors and one doctor has shot a door down(somehow got a gun) I would pardon take the weapon off them and be on my way

    #4 a marine has broken into req and medical engi many times this should be punished as they Know what they are doing but don't stop doing it I wouldn't pardon

    When do you believe it’s appropriate to use a Battlefield Execution? Give an example.
    #1 Someone trying to kill me or a marine for no reason I would BE

    #2 a Marine has calling for a mutiny and has started to shoot/hurt MPs that I have sent to arrests him I would also try to reason with them if they don't calm down or start to Get more marines involved I would BE them

    #3 has be nothing but a threat to the operation (taking FOB Mats and not using them , leaving cades open ,blowing up a wall for Xeons to flank as well they don't listen to Command) and has purposely been a threat I would send MPs first but I'm guessing this is planet side i would BE them unless it was ship side then jail

    #4 I wouldn't BE a marine for Miss firing and hitting me or a marine as they were aiming for the bad guys and not Actively shotting marines

    #5 I wouldn't BE a Spec for shotting a sadar AP into a marines (if the sadar said CLEAR and was going to fire at a t3 or queen I believe it would be the dumbly marines fault for getting in the way) I would tell the sadar off but I wouldn't BE one of the main players of the game

    You say you have 40-50 hours as XO before time tracking was implemented? How much have you had since then, if you’ve even played XO at all since then? When was the last time you played XO?

    Hey man Im glad you’re interested in becoming a CO, but you should really have the council look over your app prior to submitting it. Your pardon and BE answers are not good.

    “I wouldn’t pardon a marine who committed murder because it’s is a heavy crime... they are a major crime under ML” No you can’t pardon a marine for murder because it’s a capital crime.

    Additionally, the first pardon reason is near sighted because specs should not get deferential treatment, and it opens you up to retribution due to someone who breaks ML intentionally is likely to do it again.

    Pardon answer 3 is weak too.

    Finally these are suppose to be situations where you WOULD pardon not where you would not, it is assumed you wouldn’t pardon a murderer because you said it yourself when you answered yes to did you read the code of conduct. This point is also applicable to your BE answers.

    BE answer #1 is generic.

    BE answer #2 is essentially the same situation as #1.

    BE answer #3 is again extremely similar to 1 and 2.

    There are plenty of valid BE reasons that aren’t some dude is murdering someone or otherwise super griefing. Any usurpation of your command is a BE reason, for instance. it doesn’t have to be someone killing you or another marine. I will wait for others before announcing my final opinion, but it’s a great -1 at this point in time.

    You should be, at the very least, certified on the Discord for us to even consider the application. I recommend you say a few things on it too, so people actually know who you are outside of the game. It’s listed as a requirement on the “Applying for CO” thread. I know you’re in the Discord, but you have to be actually in it and at least using it beforehand.

    A.J., I have to say that I am a bit disappointed because I see you as a standup member of the community. I don't like to be a mirror and reflect what people are already saying, but your application is very weak. Your answers to the application questions don't make me confident that you took the time to develop your knowledge and understanding to handle the complex situations that a Commanding Officer may encounter. Your grammar in your application is also poor and it doesn't portray that you'd be able to respond efficiently in a manner that marines could understand.

    Overall, I'm going to -1 this application. I'd like you understand though that nobody is here to kick you in the gut about your application. I heavily suggest that you reapply if you are denied, but not before reaching out to other whitelisted Commanding Officers and the WL Council as well for suggestions about developing your application.

    Brother, you're a alright guy but this application ain't cuttin' it chief. The story itself has many errors like the grammar, your questions and answers are pretty subpar, and everything else is just not up to the standards in my opinion. -1 but you should reapply when you want like amber walsh said.

    Since your application has went up I haven't seen you as XO once, this could however be partially to timezones.

    Your story is also filled with grammatical errors, as a CO your english needs to be clean and understandable.

    Hi, it’s been about two weeks already and pretty much everyone we’ve talked to hasn’t seen you as XO since this application went up. I also asked you ten days ago that you needed to be Discord certified for this application to qualify, which you haven’t done nor replied with a good alibi otherwise.

    Unfortunately these — nevermind the admittedly lacking application quality itself — are grounds themselves for denial of the application. You can reapply in one month when you’ve had enough time to actually play XO while your application is up. In addition, you can reach out to Councilors or whitelisted COs for help on your application. Be sure to read the “Applying for CO” thread as well, as those contain the additional prerequisites and helpers.

    Until then, this application is denied. You may reapply in 30 days on August 22, 2022.
